| Does anyone have any experience with them? I know they have two locations across the street from each other. Thanks! |

| I have several friends that send their children there. One child goes there one day a week and the other two attend full time. I have never heard any complaints, and they are really happy with the quality of care their children get there. All of the kids have attended since about 4 months old and are still there at 2 years old. |

| I know two children who go there one day per week and they love it, as do their parents. I don't really know any other kids in daycare, so I have no means for comparison, but it seems like they learn a ton (they are 1 and 2 years old). |

Thank you both, do you know which location they attend- The one next to BCC or the one in the East West Towers?

| The three children I know attend the one next to BCC. I agree with the other poster in that the children seem to be learning a lot there. |

| I thought CIS has a 2-day a week minimum. |

| Both of my kids go to the BCC location. Both have been there since they were 4 months old, so I have experienced the transitions into different rooms/age groups etc. All in all we love it. The teacher turn over rate is very low, administration is excellent, teachers are loving and nurturing. We feel like our kids learn a lot and both really enjoy their days and the other kids. If you have more detailed questions I'd be happy to chat with you. |

| My kids are at the East-West location and I feel the same as the person whose children are at the BCC location. Great place, low turnover, loving teachers and my child who is now in the pre-school is learning a ton. |

| We toured the place and got on the list a couple years ago. We never actually attended, but these were my thoughts. I thought the children looked very happy. It didn't seem chaotic and I liked that they offered a number of programs (music lessons, etc.). Things I didn't like were (1) their NAEYC credentials had lapsed apparently because of a paperwork problem and (2) at the time, anyway, they used high school volunteers to reach their minimum teacher ratio. |
